I'm not generalizing (seriously, a lot of INTPs are sane beings too) but it seems like a lot of trolls (and failtrolls) in the internet are INTPs.

Thoughts anyone?

I would suggest that ENTPs are as likely to be in that category.

I would also suggest that when INTJs troll, they do so unconsciously.

I love trolling many forums!
On one website, I have a real account and a 'fake account'.
It's something fun to do when I'm bored especially when people 'feed the troll'.
I don't troll awesome ones like this one though, :D

ENTPs do indeed pwn INTPs in this area but someone with extreme religious beliefs, and a keen determination to let others know this, is the type that invariably wins the troll awards.

Heh, trolls are hilarious. I like watching people get really riled up over someone they've never seen before attacking their views.

Remember, there is nothing more important than proving that someone on the internet is wrong.

To trolls! :cheers:

The internet has an endless supply of wrong people too. It is troll heaven.

What types accidentally troll, rather than entertainment troll?

I think of "trolling" as more of an ENTP activity. They're the ones who always fuck with Wikipedia... the ENTPs who generally aren't as witty as other ENTPs, anyway.

I've noticed that too with INTPs. But I think ENTPs are too extroverted to be hanging around in the internet too much. I mean on the same pages. There's not enough of change of scenery...

I get the NTP vibe from most trolls. I swear 4chan is solid NTPs.

I give the ENTPs their due here, they love to pick fights and rile people up and some of the immature ones do that via trolling. INTPs get in on the act too, but usually aren't as abrasive as their extroverted cousins.

I always think of trolls as either people who are lonely or people who need a great deal of attention.

Maybe one would be an I and the other an E?

Most common troll types are probably ENTP, ENTJ, INTP, and INTJ. However, some of the more nerdy internet communities are completely dominated by INTPs and INTJs, so it's just a matter of probability sometimes.

I see this as very true. I have actually gotten to talking to one of these trolls and that was all they needed was someone to talk to, to express their anger to. He was such an INTP too. It's hard to not love your thinking cousins.

Well in all fairness an INTP made me do it :dry:

It's hard for me to imagine INTJs and ENTJs trolling. There's no real point.

If you look at the people who have been banned from this forum, there is a couple ENTJs and a INTJ there I think. NTJs need attention too, and being overly inflammatory and trollish is just an easy and cheap route to get that.

I think people have the tendency to project feeling or perceived negative intentions onto statements with INTJs, when none is actually there.

Yes. ENTPs are definitely in the overwhelming majority.

Yeah most definitely.... don't leave out ENTPs though. the INTP trols are definitely more hated-filled and righteous about offending a community...... even as you read this, I am plotting the creative destruction of this place and everyone you love! (but I do it in a positive way that allows the community to grow so that's ok!)

I bet the WoW Funeral Crash YouTube - Warcraft Funeral Crash was thought of by an INTP.... or at least the filming of it. Fuckin' horde punkass INTPs....
